Topic: Howto: Upgrading Perl 5.10 to 5.14

The port 'lang/perl5.10' was removed on 2013-02-04 because: "Has expired: no longer under development, use lang/perl5.16 or lang/perl5.14". So we need to move from older 5.10 to newer 5.14. To upgrade perl choose port managment tool you like ( portupgrade or portmaster).

Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.

And now you can check which version of perl do you have:

# perl -v
This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 4 (v5.14.4) built for amd64-freebsd-thread-multi
